Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 700

Given:

2 candidates in the election

A candidate who got 25% of total votes polled was defeated by 350 votes

Calculation:

Let the total number of votes polled = X

according to question,

75% of X - 25% of X = 350

⇒ 50% of X = 350

⇒ (50/100) × X = 350

⇒ X = 700

∴ Total number of votes polled  700.
